The rising warm, moist air releases energy as it cools and condenses into rain clouds. The process continues building energy in the rainclouds which can erupt into a violent storm encompassing hundreds of square miles. As the winds begin to rotate over the warm water, energy continues to ...

To put that into perspective, much of the Sahara desert gets twice as much rain each year. The coastal regions of Antarctica receive more falling moisture but still average only 8 inches (20 cm) a year. Unlike most desert regions, however, the moisture doesn't soak into the ground. ...
However, „The wind's name, Wocawson is not a noun, but a verb, meaning 'it is windy.' Likewise, other elements—such as Rain, Snow, Sunshine, Cold, Heat—are also expressed as verbs, continuing actions or processes rather than independent things [. . . ], allowing speakers the ...
Technology like the ‘cloud’ is not really “virtual”. Computers and cellphones (including servers and networks), consume over 15% of the world’s electricity, and this will increase with the advent of 5 G (Andrae and Edler, 2015). Technology is an expression of the available energy we...
Sometimes a tropical shower ends quickly, as the clouds and falling rain evaporate. The evaporating rain cools the air near the surface, so that it isn't warm enough to rise into a new cloud. Sometimes, though, the cooling effect as well as the weight of the rain itself can create a ...
Across a wide range of studies, researchers often conclude that the home environment and children’s outcomes are causally linked. In contrast, behavioral genetic studies show that parents influence their children by providing them with both environment
In the beginning stages of a derecho, the rain falling from the base of the cloud encounters extremely dry air. This air cools so rapidly due to rainfall evaporation that it plummets towards the ground. This produces not only a gust front, but it also generates a smal...
When a nor'easter forms in warmer weather, its impacts can be nearly indistinguishable from those of a tropical cyclone. Both types of storm can deliver lashing winds, heavy rain, storm surge, and flooding to regions of northeastern North America. ...
Snow is a cluster of ice crystals that form in the atmosphere and retain their shape as they collectively fall upon Earth. They form when the atmosphere is cold enough to prevent them from fusing or melting and becoming sleet or rain. Although a cloud contains multitudes of temperatures and ...
